Relating to the prosecution of the offense of sexual assault.

SB 1432 clarifies the legal definition of sexual assault in Texas by adding specific scenarios where consent is absent, such as when a victim is unconscious, impaired by substances, or exploited due to a dependent relationship (e.g., with healthcare providers, clergy, or caregivers). It also establishes a seven-year statute of limitations for complaints about sexual assault violations involving healthcare providers during assisted reproduction procedures, extending to two years from when the complainant knew of the incident, whichever is later. The bill applies only to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, and does not affect cases occurring before that date.
